Customer challenge

The University of Tilburg wanted to bring people together. In June 2011, it opened the Faculty club, a place where members of the university community can meet. To create the right atmosphere in the 80-seat restaurant, reception rooms and meeting rooms, modern lighting was needed.

The right lighting

If the Faculty Club was going to become a popular meeting place, it would need an inviting ambience. The university considered several restaurant lighting options before deciding on a 100% LED solution. It was important that the lights could adapt to different occasions at the venue, and the dimming options of LED would make this possible.

LuxSpace downlights were installed in the entrances and toilets, providing a warm welcome to guests. Their glare-free performance provides clear visibility, and a comforting atmosphere. StyliD spotlights were placed around the venue to create enchanting lighting effects. For general illumination, Dayzone luminaires were chosen. Their daylight-like performance creates the perfect ambience for visitors to socialize and relax in.

The new restaurant and meeting room lighting has transformed the Faculty club. The lights perfectly complement the style of the venue, giving it an understated yet luxurious quality.

Thanks to the long life cycle of LED, the restaurant lighting at the Faculty club won’t require maintenance for several years.
